Second Interview Thank You Letter

Mr Baskerville is nothing if not polite. So he knows how important it is to write a thank you letter after your second interview.

Here's one you can adapt for your own situation.

Dear Smadam,*

It was an absolute delight to meet you earlier today. I can't imagine a better way to spend my time. It totally made up for the hours I spent on transit, wearing uncomfortable clothes.

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your comments on the industry. You are so right. You should be the President.

I'm delighted that the job description has changed--as you know, I love a challenge.** You described the intricacies of this fascinating role with such skill that I now long to work there. The filing! The unexpected extra duties!! And yes, of course my hours are flexible!!! It goes without saying that if you need, I'll be happy to sleep under my desk so I'm on call, 24/7.

Again, it was an honour to meet you.

I long to hear from you. Call anytime!

Sincerely***
Mr Baskerville [don't forget to insert your own name here]
PS I've installed a coop, in case you'd rather communicate by homing pigeon.

Mr Baskerville fully expects to hear within the hour that he has been hired.

*Don't worry if you've forgotten the interviewer's name. You know they've forgotten yours.
**Again, don't worry that this is a lie.
